Quote context

[...]

- I gotta run. I'll drop back later.

- All right, Fred. Bye.

- Bye.

- Excuse me, girls.

- No, conditions are none too good right now, Al. Considerable uncertainty in the business picture. Strikes, taxes still ruinous.

- You like that cigar?

- Oh, yes, Mr. Milton. It's fine.

- All things will read just themselves in time.

- Well... I'm overwhelmed.

- Of course. Of course.

- Will you bring them in now please, Mrs. Garrett?

- Yes, sir.

Well, that's vanishing cream. This is a vanishing cream remover. I'll tell you how you can save money. If you don't put that on, then you don't need this to take that off.
Yeah, I know. You're the junkman. You get everything sooner or later.
Don't say it, chum. The customer's always right, so I'm fired. But this customer wasn't right.
